Transformers Spotlight: Orion Pax

James Roberts (w) • Steve Kurth (a) • Kurth, Livio Ramondelli (c)

BEFORE OPTIMUS PRIME—there was Orion Pax! Four million years ago, the future leader of the AUTOBOTS disappeared into the Cybertronian wilderness to save a friend. What happened next would take him to the very brink—and have startling repercussions on the current comics!

COBRA gains control of giant, transforming robots and uses them in their attacks. In response, the United States military forms an elite group of soldiers, G.I. JOE. COBRA COMMANDER, MEGATRON, HAWK, BUMBLEBEE, OPTIMUS PRIME, and more do battle.

I'm looking forward to the Orion Pax Spotlight issue, and I'm glad to see he'll be getting a more basic body. I hope this comic suggests a how and why as to how Orion's body was turned into Optimus'. It's something that has been completely ignored by the novels, the Cybertron games and the PRIME animation, and it really bugs me.

Complete Drift seems a little unnecessary. I'd be more behind it if it wasn't a hardcover. It makes it so much more expensive when you could probably get the Drift trade and Spotlight cheaply enough.

And that Sgt. Peppers homage for MTMTE is fantastic. I need that cover for sure. Wouldnt be the first time that IDW did a month of variant covers all based on the same subject like music. Remember the photo cover month last year?
